Collection: VIRGILI Federica
Based in Rome, Italian artist Federica Virgili focuses her painting on an intense exploration of matter and color. Her atypical background, combining humanist training, a career in entrepreneurship, and artistic practice, infuses each of her works with a singular energy. The materials she uses—gesso, stucco, bitumen, sand, and pure pigments, inherited from her experience in the construction sector—become instruments for revealing the raw force of emotions and the palpable texture of the world. Her impulsive and liberated pictorial gesture seeks to capture the power of the moment, to translate into forms and textures what the eye alone cannot grasp. Music accompanies her creative process, amplifying the resonance of each movement and intensifying the link between gesture and emotion. In her compositions, colors and textures confront and complement each other, simultaneously translating personal experience, the body's memory, and the energy of the world around it.
Federica doesn't just paint to represent; she paints to provoke a total sensory experience, where sight and touch intertwine. Each work becomes an immersion in a universe where strength, vitality, and freedom are expressed, where innovation and experimentation guide the gesture, addressing often neglected themes while spreading a message of positivity and unconditional love. For her, shapes, colors, and materials are vehicles of deep emotion and an intimate connection between human beings and the universe.
